Reuters – Convicted hedge fund tycoon Raj Rajaratnam is no longer on trial, but his voice is going to be heard again in court on at least one phone tap in the trial of his former employee, Zvi Goffer, potential jurors were told on Monday.

Rajaratnam’s name dominated the questioning of scores of New Yorkers who could be among the 12 jurors selected for the five-week-long trial of Goffer and two fellow securities traders. Jury selection will continue on Tuesday followed by opening arguments later Tuesday or Wednesday.
